Welcome

The North Raleigh Model Railroad Club (NRMRC) models all railroads and is open to anyone with an interest in N Scale model railroading. We especially welcome newcomers to the hobby; our members can assist new members in learning about railroading, model railroading, N Scale, Direct Control (DCC), building a module and/or home layout and participating in Club activities. There is always plenty to do and learn, so come and join the fun. Check the Club's Events tab for meetings and shows in this area.
